Re: Cleaning AR88 Gearbox
The AR88 gearbox has anti-backlash gears using pairs of wheels sprung apart.
Grease gets trapped between the plate gears which have to slide face against face. Sticky grease and weak springs = backlash.
I'd strip the box and clean the parts individually. No dissimilar metals in contact this way. You may want to replace tired springs.
